Noob Alert!

Hello there, I'm new to this site.  I live in south east England, and I collect G1's only.  I signed onto this site to locate missing ponies to add to my collection, and also to get hints and tips on restoration and customisation.  I have only just for the first time ever used Etsy to purchase something a few weeks ago, and really liked the ease of the whole process, that last week I set up my own shop on Etsy as a gateway for people to see what duplicates/baits are available from my collection that they may be interested.

Welcome to the arena

Many thanks People will be seeing me posting questions mainly about restoration and customising methods, and possibly some occasional trading.  If people see something on my Etsy that they would like to trade for (I'll post my wishlist with grails highlighted), then please don't hesitate to drop me a message. Also, anyone with any tips, please be forthcoming as I am always eager to learn.  This is all a bit odd for me as although I've had My Little Pony's since I can remember, this is the first time I'm actually reaching out to the MLP community.

Yay welcome. I live in south East England too! By the sea! We're probably not far from each other. I've only just started my collection of g1s after losing my childhood ponies and hoping to learn restoration techniques as well. Looking forward to hearing more about your collection and etsy shop x

Welcome to the Arena 

Totally love your name!!!

Thanks all! My tag comes from a childhood memory of my mum and I making gravy from granules, and mum used to get me to close my eyes and stir, whilst she poured in the hot water and chanted her own little song-spell (just like Majesty!) "Hubble bubble, toil and trouble, Witches brew and make it double!"  Lo and behold, a measuring jug full of Bisto gravy from some teeny little granules, just like magic! ^_^

I'm 20mins train ride from Brighton, Sapling, so if you're nearby and want to do any trades in the future, I could always meet you down the seafront

And thanks again for the warm welcome people

Hi and welcome to the arena!

You are in the right place!

There will be a lot of members not too far from you.

In addition to the For Sale forum, there is also a For Trade forum.  And lots of restoration advice too, and people here are very helpful and patient with noobs...like me, so you are good.

You can make gravy from little granules???  I've been doing it all wrong!

Happy ponying!
